Pancake Batter

Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, charcoal powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

2

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

4

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

5

Serve

Stack the pancakes on a plate, serve warm with fresh berries and drizzle with rich maple syrup.
